Coverlet 1935 - 1942

Howard H. Sherman's "Coverlet" is a beautiful example of American folk art. The 1935-1942 work depicts a traditional coverlet design with red embroidery on a white background. The design is intricate and includes floral motifs, birds, and geometric patterns. It is a testament to the artistic skill of traditional textile makers and their use of everyday objects as a canvas for their creativity. The design likely reflects the style of the original piece dated 1844 that is featured prominently in the lower left corner. This piece is a historical document that captures the styles of the 19th century through the lens of the mid-20th century.
